Glassport council donates playground, authorizes truck sale, ratifies police hire and approves finances
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting, Glassport Borough Council unanimously approved donating playground equipment to East Pittsburgh, authorized the sale of a Public Works pickup, ratified the hire of Police Officer Luke Temple and approved financial reports and bills; council also agreed to allow three- or four-installment real-estate tax payments.
Glassport Borough Council on Oct. 15 adopted several routine measures and a pair of resolutions aimed at asset management and personnel.
Council voted 5-0, with Council President Anthony Colecchi and five council members present and two members absent, to donate playground equipment from the Ninth Street ballfield to East Pittsburgh, adopting Resolution No. 2 of 10-15-24 after a motion by Councilwoman Meghan DeVerse and a second by Councilman Dave Kowalski. The same vote pattern carried measures to advertise the sale of 102 Seventh Street and to award and authorize the sale of the borough’s Public Works 2000 F250 to Original Tree Service (the two sealed bids reported were $1,152 and $500), following a motion by Amy Nabors and a second by Angelo Norelli.
The council also ratified the hiring of Police Officer Luke Temple (motion by Amy Nabors, second by Dave Kowalski), approved the Monthly Financial Reports, and voted to pay General Fund bills totaling $548,119.30 and Sewer Revenue Fund bills totaling $91,369.56. Treasurer and Borough Manager Elaina Skiba noted the borough earned $22,896.64 in interest after moving accounts to Brentwood Bank.
As new business, council agreed to offer residents the option to pay real-estate taxes in three or four installments; the borough said it will publicize the new due dates and other details after staff finalizes the mechanics. Borough Manager Skiba also told council the borough will present information about accepting credit-card payments after responses from Brentwood Bank.
The measures were procedural and routine in nature and passed unanimously among members present. The meeting ended after public comment and a motion to adjourn passed by the same 5-0 margin.
Next steps: the borough will publish details on the new tax-installment schedule, complete the sale paperwork for the F250 as authorized by Resolution No. 9 (10/15/24), and Borough Manager Skiba will provide a breakdown of US Steel-related funds requested by a resident.
